Framed poster -United States Goddam
Lord have mercy on this land of mine
We all gonna get it in due time
I don't belong here, I don't belong there
I've even stopped believing in prayerDon't tell me, I tell you
Me and my people just about due
I've been there so I know
They keep on saying "Go slow!"
-Nina Simone, Mississippi GoddamAs I immersed myself in the creation of this artwork, Nina Simone's iconic song echoed in my mind. It prompted me to reflect on the erasure and scrubbing away of vital humanitarian and societal progress. Through this lens, the distorted imagery in my work represents the warped vision of what is claimed to make this land “great” again. But is this land truly great for everyone?
I am Black. I am a woman. Am I really meant to believe that this land was once a beacon of greatness?
Don’t mistake me; I hold a deep love for this land. It’s that love that compels me to speak the truth, even when that truth is not pretty. I am filled with anger and urgency. We must strive for better.
That said...
United States, goddam.
